...in the blink of an eye.

Throughout the abundance-and-happiness.com portal, I openly share one of my passions and what I believe to be my purpose for being here in the best way I'm able. I absolutely love sharing my discoveries, insights and perspectives with those who are attracted to it and might benefit from it.

I do that in the hopes of making a difference. Hopefully a significant difference.

Another area that I feel drawn to and am extremely passionate about is assisting the world's impoverished in the best way I'm able.

Children in particular.

I have children of my own as well as grandchildren and can't even imagine what it might be like to see any of them hungry.

Yet millions of children around the world are. More than just "hungry", many are starving to DEATH!! WHY?

That's why I've created this page. To raise awareness with regard to the fact that there are children who need assistance and to make providing that assistance as simple as possible for those who choose to do so and feel compelled to take some small action that might benefit hungry children around the globe.

Enhancing awareness and acknowledging that change is both needed and necessary is the first step in creating significant change in the world and that's my intention for this page.

Did you realize that an estimated 1,000,000,000 (one billion) people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition? That's roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die from these same causes each year.

About 24,000 people die EVERYDAY from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 roughly ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. 75%, (seventy five percent) or 18,000 of these deaths are children under the age of five.

750,000,000 Hungry Children exist in or world!

Here's the million dollar question...

With the incomprehensible amount of wealth and abundance that exists in the world...Can You Tell Me Why??

Although these numbers are dramatically reducing each decade, there is still ALOT that needs to be done. If justone child were to die due to hunger, even that is too many.

We each, in one way or another have the ability to make a difference by giving back to those who are less fortunate, either financially or through our physical efforts.

This page is dedicated specifically for that purpose, to make a difference in the best way I currently know how, to positively impact the lives of ill and hungry kids.
